Services

One-to-one therapy provides a space for you to learn about yourself in a supportive environment. Therapy works on a medical model which first begins with a diagnosis.

The therapist will work with you to gain an understanding of the symptoms that are holding you back from living your best life. You and your therapist will work together to understand behavior patterns, communication styles, and more. This knowledge can improve interpersonal relationships and daily functioning while reducing stress.

Therapy is considered a medically necessary service and since a diagnosis will be provided, you may choose to use your insurance for your care. 

Family Coaching provides a setting for adult families who want to improve their communication and functioning.

The coach works as an emotional interpreter for family members to better the perspectives of other members.

Family coaching works to improve self-awareness, as well as insight into family dynamics.

Group therapy is all about connection and interaction with others who are going through similar experiences. Each group member brings their own set of circumstances and understanding to build a large support network.

There are many types of group therapy, ranging from creative expression to self-care. Refresh clinicians draw from a variety of specialties to develop our groups. Some benefits of group therapy are improved communication skills, less isolation, and improved self-esteem.

At Refresh, we invite partners to come in for relationship coaching. As an inclusive practice, we want to stress that any style of partnership is welcome at Refresh. 

Coaching can be effective at any stage in a relationship. You and your partner(s) will work with a therapist to improve your relationship in multiple ways, including communication, issues of sexuality, and dissatisfaction. Coaching can also help partners who are considering moving toward a long-term commitment. 

At Refresh, we respect that the medical model of mental health treatment does not best serve everyone. We do not ethically feel that it is appropriate to provide a diagnosis if an individual truly does not need one. Coaching does not have the stringent guidelines that the medical model does, which allows us to help our clients to the fullest extent of our abilities.  Coaching also allows us to work with adults who reside outside of New York State.

The role of the clinician as a coach is to facilitate conversations that promote relationship growth in five primary areas: conflict repair, accepting differences, interpersonal communication skill building, shared visioning, and self-care. The Coach will listen carefully, ask key questions, facilitate learning, and give insightful feedback that promotes the successful creation and implementation of vision strategies and relationship goals. The Coach is not serving in the role of a therapist. Coaching is future-focused and goal-oriented. As a diagnosis is not provided, insurance will not pay for coaching.

In the past year and a half, Refresh has become a leader in telehealth. Before COVID19, we employed telehealth as a means for clients to get quality care without physically being in the office, so we are familiar with this style of therapy. We use HIPAA-compliant video platforms to make sure that clients have privacy throughout the session. Our clinicians are experienced in work via telehealth. Though the setting has changed, the quality of care has not.
